Schools also looking at eliminating days off for religious holidays.

Evanston/Skokie School District 65 is asking the community what they think of starting school one week earlier this fall, as well as no longer closing for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Good Friday.
Those questions are among several in an online school calendar survey posted on the District’s website.
If school did start earlier, on Aug. 18, it would also end one week earlier and the number of school days would not change.
The survey also asks how important it is for District 65’s calendars to remain aligned with Evanston Township High School District 202’s schedule for winter and spring recess, as well as for observed holidays. If the two districts do not have the same calendars, it could be a real problem for parents with children in both systems.

First version was pulled last month over clarity and equity concerns.

After stopping a community survey in its tracks last month “to re-evaluate for clarity and use of an equity lens,” as Superintendent Devon Horton said, the financially strapped Evanston/Skokie School District is once again asking for public input on future budget cuts.
But this latest survey is different in several ways than the one which was “paused.”
First of all, the new survey is in part a “School Finance 101” tutorial, with information about how the district gets its money, and questions about how aware survey respondents are of those sources.
